de gustibus

From a letter of James Schuyler to Frank O'Hara, dated Rome, Italy, 11/7/54:

I've become a moviegoer again, if not a bug or fan; it's like being an opium addict without getting any lift. Let's see, I've seen: Witness to Murder, Mogambo, Ulisee (I saw it in Italian, so that's what I call it), de Sica's dud, Stazione Termini, On the Waterfront, From Here to...and a couple of Italian ones I won't go into. Not to put a fine point on it, I thought them all hell; though many featured nice-lookers caught looking their best.
